wat an early post today. to begin my day, wif a post. lol, to signify this special day - the earliest i've ever woken up since i came to finland. i woke up at 4,30am. OMG!!! yah, apparently to attend a stupid event where i almost made myself look like a fool..in the hope of getting an almost non-existent white cap. zz.
Yesterday silverfish received 2 boxes of alcohol from her father. 2 BIG BOXES!!! she told me she only requested for 2 beers and 2 spirits to show her boyfren..HER BOYFREN..(the cheaterbug)..but she got 2 boxes, 19 bottles in all! haha..its either alcohol is really that inexpensive in her hometown or she is really damn well-off. but i thot that was rather much exaggerated. haha.
speaking of silverfish, i was so fuming mad wif her that day..apparently she didnt know 2 things: 1, how to ask permission and 2, the purpose of shampoo. she used my shampoo w/o permission. how i know? well, i've got DOG of a NOSE, so i smelled it. and the smell or i shd say the FRAGRANCE was so strong that it filled the entire bathroom and u can even smell it when she walks past u. u can imagine how much of my shampoo she used. maybe as a shower gel as well. LOL. but i shan't keep harping on it, cos i'm magnanimous and benevolent. thou shall forgive and forget.
last nite guoyuan told me that his clean laundry were found on the floor, cos some inconsiderate soul wanted to use THAT particular machine that he used..despite the many other empty machines..it seemed like he was just mere irritated, thou he had been treated the same way times and again. somehow if i were him, i wouldnt be that nice. he told me he stopped that fella's machine to seek revenge. if i were him, i might very possibly dump that fella's clothes into the big bin next to the machine. so that the fella would make a fool of himself by collecting his laundry from the dustbin instead of the washing machines.
next thurs is exam! analog somemore..wat a difficult way of starting the series of exams. i just hope that i pass those tough ones. if not life would be tougher when i go back to NTU.

today is such a slack day! lots of things to do, but nth really urgent, that's why i'm taking things rather too easily.
yesterday wilson finally talked to me online. after such a looooong time..which makes me face the fact that, everyone changes, and things change as well. those days were always the happiest.
in the past, we thought everything we do were very grown-up and we sort of enjoy them. k2..ole tampines, lyncia and i wandered around the whole premises on our own; thinking that we were old enuf to be w/o our parents. but when we realised we really couldn't find our parents, we were scared.
p6 i attended the 1st bday party. omg, i felt so "woah" at that time. come to think of it, if i were a bystander, i would actually be looking at just a bunch of naive kids, not even 1.4m tall, playing around like kids should. there's no big deal.
sec2 we were stupid enuf to believe that by waking up at 4am to queue at bedok stadium, we would be able to get the NDP tickets. did we really not know that pple would have queued overnight? why were we so foolish as to get our mothers to wake up early wif us to do some silly things?
yesterdays were always nice to look back at. we laugh at ourselves then. tomorrow, when we look back at what we did today, would too be a joke. we are growing up le!
we used to laugh at pple's names. lychee, mee hong kong, chua puay kee, reebok... i mean, we still do. those were dumb but enjoyable stuff.
would we still rmb the jokes we used to crack, the stupid things we used to do..10 yrs down the road? will we still be friends, hanging out tgther, singing k, eating sushi, doing the things we used to do when we were much much younger?
this post is not meant to be an emo post. it just serves as a reminder for myself, and all who come across this post, to treasure everyday.

the weather in Finland sure is weird and sudden..why, i thot a few days ago i was still digging for my gloves in my bag, all of a sudden its 15-18C..who needs gloves when u are in an air-con room? Haha.
this morning was HRM exam. thou i think i crapped my way through the defining concepts, i should be able to pass. somehow i doubt my brain capacity..has it shrunk? i rmb i used to be able to memorise more things more vividly. but somehow it has deteriorated. am i stupider? or was i just like before? i was scared last night when nth seemed to go into the highly folded and complex organ in the shell sitting on my neck. oh well, its over. i really hope i can pass, and i seriously think i might study less for the next round. the EE subjects are much harder to tackle.
now i'm tired. my fotos are re-uploading (sth's wrong wif the stupid drivers) and my head is in a stupid throbbing pain. I'm supposed to mop the floor, but i'm sheer lazy.
i might go sauna later. i dismissed the thot of jogging cos apparently, there isn't a proper clear route. i'm not a map person, so when Andrea took out the map and explained the route to me, i was half lost.
i checked out the price of bowling here. couldnt believe my ears - ear drum, ear canals and nerves when the person told me 20 euros per hr. crazy. absolutely! thou I'm not exactly sure how much bowling is in sg, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't require u to take out a 50 sgd note and only get back a 10 sgd change. ha!
i was kinda surprised at the mention of felicia's name this morning. it might have crossed my mind that she's taking the same subject too, but the thot seemed to be a mere passer-by. i'm not an independent person. so why didn't i make good use of the luxury and privilege of having a fellow sgrean fren staying just 1 floor beneath me? we could have done a lot of things tgther..cooking, eating, slacking, hanging out, sauna-ing, going to sch...if the person is ys, or gg1 or BLM or anyone else, it might have been a different case, wouldn't it be?
there's a flea market in the vicinity. cool! its good to see that there's civilisation in the quiet espoo city. the numbers seemed friendly, but after doing the maths, they didn't seem to be as nice moments ago. i couldn't resist the urge to bye the eggplant sold in Lid'l. its so cute and nice, and perfect. i didn't really know how to cook it, luckily, my mum enlightened me. LOL.
i cant help reflect the housework and menial tasks i have done since i came here, and i think i should compliment myself. never would i have thot that there's such a day when i have to do everything by myself. its not a lot, but its just so not-of-me. haha. but when I'm back in sg, I'm me again. haha. i look forward to that day.

Back from Easter holiday last week.
Next Sat is HRM exam.
Sucks. I feel like I'm a book worm, having to read and study and MEMORIZE the whole textbook. No doubt memorizing does make studying less..um..stressful, but which kid in town likes to study? If only i could play whole day long, sleep day and night...
Last night I had an almost-nightmare. I dreamt of me driving up an almost vertical slope. Naturally i had no faith in making my way up, and i was right when the car flipped and crashed towards the direction of gravity. I knew I should have gotten my sis to drive the car, but then she was at the backseat. It was impossible for her to control anything at that point in time. Instantaneously, all in the car (my parents and my 2nd sis) lost consciousness and i couldn't, at all, make them come around.
Miraculously, I was back at home the next instant and my mum was happily cooking in the kitchen. she even told me that my dad and 2nd sis were fine and still alive..and the unconscious persons in the car were just the physical bodies. I was a bit lost, but somehow I believed what she said since she was a living example. LOL

Boohoo..changes after changes. All is finally confirmed as we have paid the money. *OUCH!* Its gonna burn a hole in the pocket temporarily..but i hope everything would be worth the burn.
Haha. Planning 1 trip to 1 place is ok. But planning a trip to many different places is not easy, especially when we have to accommodate to the plane schedule and the money issue. Nevertheless, a compromise has been made and here are the most updated details:
18may Helsinki-Tallinn
20may Tallinn-Riga
22may Riga-Berlin
24May Berlin-Hamburg
26may Hamburg-Pisa
28may Pisa-Seville
30may Seville-Dublin
01jun Dublin-Glasgow
04jun Edinburgh-Zurich
09jun Geneva-Frankfurt
11jun Frankfurt-Singapore
We have sort of decided to ship our big luggage back to sg first so as to avoid the inconvenience of carrying it with us, or to save the costs of checking in or to leave it at FRA. Thanks to guoyuan for his idea. Thou the thought of 185 euros to do the shipping sounds quite *woah*, but the other alternatives were even "woah-er*. LOL
Frankly speaking, I'm not sure what kinda long holiday awaits us. It sounds luxurious, but its really abt roughing it out. How much luxury can 2 gals afford? But at least, we are off from a ~ 20kg load. And one thing's for sure, I'll not crave for any plane rides in the near future.
Friday is our Easter vacation to Oslo and Stockholm. Not sure if its gonna be a fun-filled trip as the itinerary seems rather European. Oh well, its the company and the experience that matters. No heavy luggage! No more bedbugs! OFF! I hope that the stupid bedbug bites wont leave a permanent scar on my hands. I have had enuf souvenirs.
I look forward to the day of return 65 days later.

Happy 200th post! I wonder whats there to be happie abt.
Anyway, the plan has finally been laid. At least almost confirmed, minus the booking.
20/05 Helsinki-Tallinn
23/05 Tallinn-Riga
26/05 Riga-Glasgow
30/05 Edinburgh/Glasgow-Dublin
02/06 Dublin-Prague
05/06 Prague-Zurich
08/06 Zurich-Dusseldorf
11/06 Frankfurt-SINGAPORE!!!
All these for less than 200Euros (400SGD)..this excludes the final flight and the accommodation thou.
Hopefully exams will end on 14May, which makes me just ~1mth away from the day of freedom!
This afternoon, Andrea asked if I look forward to the day I leave Finland. Naturally my answer was "yes". Why...isn't that the expected answer? Haha.
Just finished watching "Hotel for Dogs". A typical kinda movie I would have watched in the cinema back in sg. It brought back many wonderful memories. The question now is, so have I made up my mind?
